Power Girl - Commission

Another busy day today. Always a good thing. Gary commissioned this Power Girl pin-up. It is one of two commissions I have been working on. I have been doing little sketches of Power Girl in order to get the right look. And I think I got it with this one. Done with a brush, ink and some Copic Multiliner pens.

And for all you folks that like to see the process. Below is the initial sketch. A bit cartoony in this stage. I moved just a bit away from that in the final. I was mostly going for gesture and expression at this point. This sketch is about 3 inches tall by 6 inches wide and done in blue pencil in my sketchbook.

Below is the pencil stage. I enlarged the rough and used my light table to transfer the image to the final board where worked on the details. Once I had it where I wanted it, I went to the inks. I broke out my Windsor Newton Series 7 #3 brush for this one. Using the pens for the clouds and the sun beams in the background. Some little touch ups were done with the pens as well.
